Thanks for the info.  I will try that setting tonight.  I hope it
solves the issue.

If that is the solution, the real problem is that the developer called
this feature "line edit virtual keyboards".  That is a horrible
description.  I have no idea what it does.  I certainly never would
have guess that it makes my NUMBER KEYS behave like a CELL PHONE
inputing a text message.
